McFadden banned for three weeks

McFadden banned for three weeks
Leinster wing Fergus McFadden has been suspended for three weeks due to an illegal tackle in last weekend's 30-23 win over Edinburgh.

The 29-year-old denied committing act of foul play, but the disciplinary committee found that he was guilty of committing "an act of foul play by recklessly carrying out a high and dangerous tackle."

McFadden has therefore been issued with a three-week ban and will not be available to play until Monday 23 May, and making him unavailable for Leinster's final two regular season Pro 12  games.
